Irony: iPhone 5 Lines in NYC and OWS Anniversary

So, citizens are occupying some real estate in NYC again. This recurring event that seems to be a good news story happens whenver Apple releases a new iPhone And once again, lines are alrady forming in the Big Apple for the iPhone 5 release this Friday, September 21. Funny, how it seems some professional line sitters are being hired to do this kind of thing. Business is business after all. And speaking of business, today is also the anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. That's not necessarily a good news story. It appears that demonstrators and cops are already out in force. I find it an intriguing if not ironic contrast that both things are happening simultaneously with two distinctly different reactions from the authorities. But then, one is about spending money, and the other is about how others take advantage of money. You figure out which is which.
